Privacy

What Skopos sends: nothing.

Most privacy policies describe what a company promises to do with data it collects. This one describes an absence, so it can be short — and checked.

There is nothing in the app that reports on you

No analytics SDK, no telemetry, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier, no account. These are not switched off by a preference — they are not in the binary. There is nothing to send with.

The single exception, stated up front rather than buried: an update check, described below. With it off, Skopos opens no network connections at all.

Your licence is verified offline

When you buy, you receive a signed licence file. The app carries the public key and checks the signature locally. There is no activation call, no seat server, and no way for us to know that you have installed it or that you still use it. If this website disappeared tomorrow your copy would keep working.

The update check

Skopos can check whether a newer version exists. It is off by default and you switch it on yourself. When on, it fetches one version file and sends nothing beyond what any HTTP request unavoidably reveals — no identifier, no licence key, no machine details, no usage. When off, the app opens no network connections at all, and that is the state it ships in.

What it reads about your machine stays on it

Skopos reads process names, command lines, working directories, filesystem metadata and hardware counters. That is unavoidably personal information — it is a picture of what you are doing. It is held in memory, written only to files on your own disk, and never transmitted. Its history file and its preferences live in your Library folder and are removed when you uninstall.

Don't take our word for it

Point Little Snitch or LuLu at the app and use it for a week. Or run lsof -i -a -p $(pgrep -x Skopos) and see an empty result. A claim like this is only worth making because it is falsifiable.
